Description

In previous Struts2 2.3.X version, with the Tiles 2.0.2 version, I got a subdirectories organization for my several tiles definitions

/WEB-INF/tiles/public/tiles-a.xml
/WEB-INF/tiles/public/tiles-b.xml
/WEB-INF/tiles/static/tiles-c.xml

With the change to Tiles 2.2.2. now the plugin o Tiles it is supposed that all the files tiles*.xml are gonna be load with out the need of <context-params> section in the web.xml

<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/tiles/private/private-tiles.xml,
/WEB-INF/tiles/private/domain-tiles.xml,
/WEB-INF/tiles/private/personalInfo-tiles.xml,

But is not able to find this files in the subdirectories.

The only way to make it work is to move all this files to /WEB-INF/

I feel like is a important change got a minor release, and maybe should be informed better to Struts2 old-school users

Regards
